Thank you for the quick fix and update.... however, I still haven't found what I'm looking for. I see the intended use of BBcodes, I see direct script installation instructions of the files and editing. I however see nothing on what to put in the posting section of the ACP to enable use of the BBcodes.
IE:
blah,
before you can use that you need in the posting section of the acp exactly where the bbcode is pointing to. Where are those instructions?
I mean I've read several pages back and understand the editing is yo make it look at the bbcodes automagically but if I wanted to just point it at the script can I do that? If I decided to how could I go about doing it?
Reason I'm asking is I use portal xl 5.0 premod which is fine with a direct wowhead js link but Id rather BBcode if I could.
If you're referring to making phpBB know that the BBCode this script uses is parsed by the script is incorrect. phpBB doesn't know (or care) that we're using the BBCode, it just sees the tags as normal output that would normally be displayed by the browser. That is why we are "injecting" if you will the call to whp_parse();, which is the function we use to actually replace the BBCode with the properly formatted HTML to make the power.js work. I suppose it would be possible to make phpBB know about our BBCode, but it would be pointless.
I am going to add instructions on adding the BBCode buttons to the post page of phpBB so that normal users can be made aware of the tags.
Hopefully this is what you're talking about. If not, then could you be more specific?
UPDATE
I did a bit of poking around in the phpBB code and found that if I simply add custom bbcode tags that the script uses then it will automatically add the buttons on the posting page. After a bit more poking around I discovered that the custom BBCodes are saved into a MySQL table, therefore you have two options to add the BBcode the script uses to the posting page. First you could manually add the tags using the ACP (admin control panel), or you can use this script that I've just begun writing. It will let you choose which tags to add and then generate the necessary SQL code to do it automatically. Look for it later on today. It will be included in version 3.5, which will include various fixes.
Please note that the bbcode buttons will
NOT
autoadd the arguments that the various bbcodes can take, this will need to be done manually.
Oh and I guess I can mention that upon completion of this bbcode script I am going to begin working on a script that will take a CSV (comma separated value) file generated from your item cache (will be generated by a separate executable file that I will have to find again) and then upload it to my site which will then generate the necessary SQL queries to be able to add to your item cache. Basically, what itemcache_en is now, but it will be generated by you, and use whatever language your current Wow client is.

ok so what you're telling me is after installation of your script I should be able to go to a post and put in
Uber awesome staff of power
and it should show up.
If that is the case, then I need ot find another script.
Like I said I use portal xl 5.0, the added premod features wont allow the use of -wild- BBcodes.
By the way, if you are thinking of making it work..... *hinthint -request- hinthint*
This is portal xl 5.0 premod 0.2's website. It's a complete portal system for phpbb 3.0.5
http://damysterious.xs4all.nl/
His source files and change logs are available. I don't even try to pretend to know how to change anything.
Edit: I'm also checking with him to see if there is anything that might interrupt it since I have it installed and nothing is showing up. I have posted your instructions on his website showing him the code that gets injected. There might be something interrupting the script, but I don't know how to check that personally.
Additional Edit: If this works I'll sign our site up in the site database. I want to use this thing it's pretty awesome, just gotta see if it will work with our portal software.

Well my script would not work on his portal because you have not added the calls to parse.php's function whp_parse(), which is actually what makes the script work. I do not currently support that portal, so I have not looked at the code. Unless the portal uses functions_content.php in the includes folder of phpBB then the portal will have no clue that my script exists. If his portal does use functions_content.php (and the nl2br function), and the script isn't working then you haven't installed the script properly.
Can you link your site? I want to take a look, please. =D
EDIT
Found in your sig, lol.
By the way, for future reference, before saying my script won't work you should first check to see that the mods you're using are supported by said script. In this case I do not support your portal, which will change after I download it and tear it apart to find good places for my code injection.
Edit
If your portal works with phpBB3 (which obviously, it does) then it will work with my script, just a matter of finding the right way to do it.
Perhaps I'm missing something, but I can't find where to download the versions. The layout of his site, and changing images is very irritating and entirely unnecessary...gives me a damn headache.

I can't add more then the instructions tell me to add. This is why I'm here trying to find a solution, offer a guild and website to your database, and get clear instructions. I'm also going that extra step on my end to ask what you need for information and providing as much as I can.
All that aside...
The portal software he uses is pretty editable. I didn't say it didn't work I said it's not working on his. :p Check my last edit.
I made sure to post to DA about the script as well he might have a simple solution that I missed.
Our website is
http://www.ahordedazedknight.com
The portal website again is
http://damysterious.xs4all.nl/
I have posted a support request concerning the script to see what he has to say about it and will post his reply.
Thanks for your time on this by the way. I have no doubt that if somehow this gets working on our site, our guild members will come personally thank you.
edit:
http://damysterious.xs4all.nl/portalxl/download/file.php?id=675
That's his download link. That doesn't include phpbb 3.0.5 only his files and his install files.
http://damysterious.xs4all.nl/portalxl/docs/PORTAL_XL_INSTALL.html
These are his install instructions.
Hopefully he responds and hopefully you find a solution XD.
If I could email cookies and kudos to you I would.
edit: Anything else I can give you that you might need for this? Beer? Pizza? HBO? hehehe. Seriously, need any other information don't hesitate to ask will provide it willingly and happily.

The instructions you are going off of is for phpBB3,
NOT
a portal. There is a clear difference, any portals are stand alone scripts that hook into the phpBB database, and perhaps use some of phpBB's PHP classes for output. There are no instructions for your portal because I have never received a request to offer instructions for it.
It appears as though you're using the pre-modified version of the portal, which is probably not a good idea for when the phpBB team releases security fixes it may break your site to update. Anywho, I am not going to install a pre-modified version of the portal/phpBB as I already have a functional version (3.0.5) running my local web server and it is already setup for debugging/developing my script.
Edit
Given how he compressed the package I cannot unpack it because I am on my Linux installation, which is where I do all my script related stuff. If in fact he does block "wild" bbcode then download version 3.5 (
http://wowhead-tooltips.com/download/universal/
) and upload create_bbcode.php to the wowhead folder of your forum (where the rest of this script resides) and then run it. Have it add all of the BBCode to the database and see if it continues to block it. Given how modified phpBB is I would recommend backing up your database
BEFORE
running create_bbcode.php, just in case. It can't really do anything bad, but you never know with something as "non-stock" as your setup is.
On a side note, this portal seems entirely too bloated...Like on your site when I mouseover an image it pops up a tooltip saying "Image"? Come on, is that really necessary? Just saying... ;-) Let me know

edit: The site upgrades weren't a problem with his portal software until it came time to backup. I reinstalled xp one time and had not done a site backup. Because of session handling changes ( no clue ) I wasn't able to re-import the database. That's the only issue I ever had with his software.
When I used WAT on the site recently it worked "ok" but the links never worked properly.
Is there any information I can provide to possibly make it easier for you to look at?
I can upload and install a default fresh version if you need easily.

Short of giving me FTP access, I doubt it. I can't look at the raw PHP code without having access to files via FTP. I can only look at the outputted HTML and guess at what might be happening.
WAT had problems when I tested it. I threw most of the code out when I modified it into my script. Once I get around to it I am going to completely rewrite the armory and guild modules to use SimpleXML rather than PHP4 style XML parsers.

Yeah I can give you ftp access. You have some way of contacting me?
We can figure something out.
edit: sent you an email witht he subject header "A Horde Dazed Knight" to your personal email, Im there now actually :)
Also been messing with the code a little bit. I injected the code into the functions file in his portal folder. The portal page with the news block etc were affected.. weirdly... and the rest of the forum was not. It was cool for a second though :)

Oh yeah..almost forgot...
VERSION 3.5 RELEASED!
Universal
or
Joomla!
Added in this version is create_bbcode.php (located in the wowhead directory) which will create the necessary BBCode entries so the buttons will show up when posting something. This works with
phpBB3
only.
Also fixed (I hope) is the script generating errors when your site gets blocked by the armory. Finally, I fixed the errors generated when you're using a long (length > 20) guild name, now allows for up to 75 characters, which is more than the max allowed my WoW itself.

i responded to said e-mail, but yeah i can't connect to vent because of being on Linux. I am only on Windows when I play wow, which is ventrilo is installed. If you can e-mail the FTP info to support@wowhead-tooltips.com I can take a look. I have a raid at 8pm EST (its now 7:18) and I have to eat before, so I won't be browsing the forums as much. As a matter of fact I am going to be switching over to Windows shortly.

Can you add a Spell Icon tag ?
Post by

Just a heads up guys, my motherboard in my main machine where I do all my programming work has crapped out so it is out of commission until I get the replacement board from ASUS. Therefore, I won't really be able to work on the script until I can get my new board and get it setup. I am hopeful to have the replacement board by middle or end of next week. I will still be checking my email and website regularly so if you have any questions you can still feel free to e-mail me and I will do my best to help you out. I am currently having to use a laptop that is about 7 years old, and it could barely handle the Ubuntu installation process, so I am not going to attempt to work on the script.
If you need anything, let me know.

Unfortunately, I can't debug the code, because the HDD with my development environment is on my puter that currently doesn't have a motherboard. It will most likely be later on next week before I can take a look.
If I recall correctly someone opened a ticket about that same craft item, and I think it was because the XML was incorrectly returned. There is nothing I can do about it. Rather than it returning the item's XML it actually returns the item's pattern XML.

Should be getting my replacement motherboard any day now, so I'll be able to debug the code then.
Thank you for your patience and understanding
